The New Beetle Kicks A$$

My opinion about the new Beetle is that it kicks a$$ just like Scotland! The Beetle is small, but cool. It kinda looks like the old Beetle. The only difference is that the new Beetle has a dome design, and the inside looks a little diferent.

The new beetle sucks my asshole, IMO. Not to be vulgar, but it's a big turd in appearance. And think about it....it's the same shape as the cross section of the wing of a 747. There's gotta be some pretty decent lift going on at high speeds.

You like the interior? you like the cute little flower holder next to the steering wheel? Does it make you feel manly?:apuke:

hmmmmm

why do yall have to hate on the bug,eh? Getting beat by what you may call a chicks car is pretty bad. Oh go ahead and state if you wish..."what are you going to beat my "ferrari?" perhaps not but the HPA bug would. So would ron lummus' would tear you up. Not hating i think both your cars are bad ass cars S2000 and the ferrari but please have a little respect for the owners of these cars we're not all nerds and idiots. I could have gotten a supra before teh bug but still am getting one anyway the bug is a project to de stroy v8s :smoka:

VW New Beetles are some of the worst, most unreliable cars made on the road today.

Says who? Aren't they on the Golf platform? I thought they were holding up fairly well in the world...

Yes, actually they´re pretty reliable (it´s a fact), they share the platform of the Golf AND that´s exactly the same for the Audi A3 not in USA still, do you really think Audi would risk their cars? definetly not. About been cute or nice, you just love it or hate it, I love it of course. And they´re not small, at least in the outside they look kind of big.

A ridiculous accusation with no proof to back it up

The styling is ok...but i think its a chick car...no offense to neone. But i mean if your beetle can run 11's and 12's ..good luck to you

HPA Beetle

I have to say i reallly like the new beetle, i also love corvettes, but if i had the money i'd skip the vette and get the hpa stage 3 conversion beetle. There's nothing like 4-motion awd, 6 speed manual tranny, and 509bhp to make a corvette blush.

and there is nothing like being called an idiot for wanting a beetle over a vette. And also being called a chick for driving one. just IMO

plus you can get 500 hp outta a vette easy.. buy a ZO6 and put new/better exhausts on it ...intake..induction..supercharger...easy 500+ hp
